Here’s one I made earlier......

[Wouter]

A day of bad weather down here on the West Sussex coast yesterday so I was up in the attic rummaging about in the stash/built kit boxes.
Then I had the brainwave to lay them all out! then I thought “ I know, I’ll take a few pictures”....so I did.
Can’t believe that this was all I’ve built in the 10 yrs since I started making models

View attachment 352954

There are another 5 or 6 that either being built or are waiting to go on bases. A quick bit of maths says I’m averaging 1 kit every 2 and a half months. So easily have enough in the the stash to last another 10 yrs

If you’d like to see anything in a bit more detail or want to now what the kit is, give me a shout.

You built all THAT in 10 years? My haul seams quite meagre in comparison to you chap :D I think I started modelling at about the same time as you but I havent' built not even half of that . Good to see a nice variety mate.

Cheers

Hi Si
I'm another who does not seem to have a lot to show since taking up the hobby 9 years ago. Although I DO have a lot to show when it comes to pots of stuff guaranteed to produce stunning results (in someone else's hands!), eBay bargains that were just too good to miss and boxes full of junk that I'm sure will be useful some day. Ah well cheaper than beer and loose women and tolerated by the missus.
Quite a collection you have there including a car and sci-fi. You need a ship build now?

Hi Jim,
I have flyhawks HMS Campbeltown on the Christmas/birthday list so might be lucky this year

I think as hobby’s go, model making is not not so bad. My mate goes fishing and regularly spends hundreds on equipment, lake fees, camping stuff and consumable items....and a lot of the time he catches nothing

Hi Wouts,
Ok so I’ve built more....but my builds aren’t good enough to get published in magazines!! Quantity over quality in my case.

Bit harsh on yourself bud, I've seen quality builds of yours coming out last couple of years, liked the Tomcat, even with the upside down decals ^^

Nice collection Si. By my count that comes out to almost 5 models a year. Not bad. Cheers, Rick H.

Ok so I’ve built a few that have turned out better than I imagined....more luck than skill mate

Cheers Rick,
I need to increase the build numbers then....currently they arrive quicker than they get finished

That's a nice little haul there, not to mention a lot of great work.

Well done!!

Welcome to the forum Andrew.
All mad here and friendly.

Hi john,
Of course I don’t mind at all mate !

Glad you found us ok Andrew.....Bob (Mr StuG) is round here too....probably eating a pot noodle somewhere
Appreciate your kind appraisal of my stuff

A little something I built during the week to break the monotony of assembling tracks for a Tiger I ....


This is Eduards 1:144th MiG-21 SMT. A really nice little build at around 100mm long and there are two in the box so I will try cammo paintwork for the second one.




The runway type base was made from a piece of high density foam board and some static grass applied with my homemade gizmo....


Lost count of how many time I knock the pitot mast off the front

 

[JR]

Ah Comrade Benson, very nice indeed.

 

[Si Benson]

Spasibo comrade Race
Something about the early version MiG’s that I really like

 

[scottie3158]

Si,
Nice result mate.

 

[BattleshipBob]

Si, not another gone all russki! (Green at the gills)

Think Stug, Stug and for good measure Stug.

Stug doctor to the infamous !!

Hi Bob, I told the shop keeper I wanted a StuG....he thought I said MiG and I didn’t want to make a scene

 

[Mini Me]

That is a great result and in a sub braille scale to boot! One could split a quart can down the middle and come up with a perfect scramble hangar for the ready launch line.
Cheers, Rick H.

Well done Si. Looks very nice indeed.

Evening all,
I couldn’t resist building this little kubelwagen the postie dropped off on Saturday...





Had never heard of the manufacturer before but I must say for under £9.....it’s not a bad kit if you want something that looks like a kublewagen

It does have a couple of niggles. The shovel mounting point was off and is missing the mudguard support bracket.

The front tyre on the bonnet needs modifications as it should sit flush on its mount, but there is quite a lot of space between the two.

The front wheels protrude past the tyre on the inside edge. All sortable if you want to.
A recommended kit for the price.

Nice one Si, Will you dio it up or base it? Rick H.

Cheers Rick,
I’ll probably stuck it on a little base with a bit of grass and mud
